Be it known that I, WILLIAM HEU- LINGS, Jr.,-a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe city and county of Phila-l .delphia and State of Pennsylvania, have in s Windows for Cars, of which the following is 'a s ecication. v heobjectofmy invention is to provide a dviceloffthis kindin which larve windows'- are provided .which are clos d at 'least twd sashes and provided with means on'one ofl the' 'sashe's whereby the others'ash is automatically locked or unlocked tothe first sash a, appropriate parts ofv'the movement.

`12.are secured b screws 14 to theu per ed e -of the sash 7. ferably two of tlie stan ards' 12 are placed on each sash, one at each "side, but as theyf'areidentical it is sufficient' to show and describe one.- The standards 12 6o have also a laterally-extending projection 15, which extends far enough to have its cross- The spind e 11 has also an antfrictioil-roller '17 mounted upon it, and a similar roller 18 is placed on a spindle .19 which is fixed inthe lever 10 and runs parallel with the spindle 1 1.

Below the roller 18 isfa downwardly-extending web 20., which is preferably made integral with the lever 10, and-this web 20 at 7o eigtendin projections 21 'and 22, r'espectively. he projection 2l is bifurcated,` so asfto st raddle the guiding-strap 2 3, which@A passes up between the rollers 1 7 and '18 and 7 5 is secured at 24 and 25 to the walls of thecar 2 3 preferably follows the outline of the ro'o in ageneral way and is so shaped as tofp'roperl'y guide the movement of the up er endsofthe sashes, as will appear below. he outer ends of the projection 21 enter a recess'26, which I is partially filled by a piece of metal 27,1 inserted' at it'su erend, which piece of'metal' gis held in ositlon by ascrew 2 8 or inA an 85,` other suita le manner,` and themetal piece is i so proportioned and arranged that tlieprojection 21 rests therein when vthe sash? Is in its lowest position andisheld in'this position by means of a leaf-spring 29, .placed "under the `flange 13, as indicated in Fig. 5.` i The projection 22 is ino eratlve when the projection 21 is lin the spe et 2 6 and in engagement with the 'metal piece 27'.4 .Howf v ever, it becomes operative'when the-sash-' is 9 5 raised, as shown in Fig. 6, sothat'its upper .edge impinges 'against' the lever 10 and raises i't until its outer'end strikes .tl-Ie cro'ss- A ing, 16 of the laterally-extending arms 15. When in this position, the projection 21 is roo withdrawnfrom the recess 26 and'is'jthen 'against the stra 23, which it "straddles When-raised a litt e more, as shown in Fig. 7, the strap posi'tivelyholds the projection '31 'andthe ripper edge of the projection' 22 its Vlower end-is provided with two laterallyy l 21 and' prevents any. lateral movement. nog4 This socket.,

are so shaped as to fit eachother, as shown in 'rio `disengagre at the appropriate time, as de- Figs. (i und T-Mthnt` is, the upper wall of the socket 31 is not eyliinlrieal, but slightly conical and llared toward the web 20, so that the socket-piece S1 and projection 212 will readily scribed below.

The operation of my improved device is as follows: Assuming the parts to be in the position as indicated in Fig. 5, when the lower sash 6 is raised, as indicated in Fig. t3, so that its upper edges impinge against the lever 1t) and raises it into contact with the crossings 1 6, the projection 21. is withdrawn from engagement-with themet-al piece 27, and the projection 22 is placed in engagement with the socl et-piece 21 against the aetion'of the spring-29. As soon as the sashes are raisedv together the projf-ction 21 straddles `the guitlingStrap 23, as above described, so that it is impossible for the projection 22 to be withdrawn from the socket 3i) while the projection .21 is in engagement with .the strap 23. The antifrie.tion-rollers 17 and' 18 permit an' easy movement along theguidingfstrap Z8 until the. sashes are raised into the position shown by dotted lilies in Fig, i, where the)V are held by a bolt (not. saown) which rests in a socket 32, which may boot" an)v suitable form. VVhe-n the sashes are lowered, the holt. is Iirst withdrawn from the socket 32, and the sashes are then brought down together until the upper sash Treaches its lowermostv position, where it remains. The continued downward movement of the. sash tiiorees the projection 22 to leave the socket 31, and this` aetion is accelerated by the springr 29, so that the projection 21 swings into the notch 26V and engages the .metal piece 27, whereb)v the upper sash is locked in its position against upward movement, and the lower sash 6 then continues into the` positionindicated in Fig. 1'. From the foregoing it is apparent that my improved device positivel)vv locks the. two sashes together, so that they cannot heeoine. separated when in the rootc pocket or ehaniber,y so that the tendencjr toseparate in this chamber is. obviated and one sash. cannot. slide or :nove without regard to the. other, and tliereby cause the sashes to heroine jammed when an attempt is made to remove them from this chamber 1 It is obvious that 'my invention may he embodied in Vari usot.her toi-ins, so that l do not regard ibas limited to the structure herein shown and described, but as broad enough l to cover all structures that come vWithinthe l sctpe 'of the aimexed claims.
